Webster County – A project to replace the Webster County Route BB bridge over Finley Creek south of Seymour during 2017 is the focus of a public meeting on Thursday evening, October 27, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The public is invited to attend the come-and-go style meeting to learn more about the plans to replace the bridge and the resulting traffic impacts. The meeting will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Seymour Middle/High School cafeteria, 625 E. Clinton Avenue. NO FORMAL PRESENTATION IS PLANNED.

Those unable to attend the in-person meeting can view exhibits and get project information by visiting an online public meeting at www.modot.org/southwest. The information will be posted and ready for viewing in the afternoon of October 27.

The bridge, located five miles south of Seymour between Walnut Ridge Road and Hawthorn Road, was built in 1938. The bridge is in poor condition and is in need of replacement.

Project Information:

Replace existing bridge with a new structure

During construction, Route BB will be CLOSED to traffic for approximately four or five months

No signed detour is planned. However, drivers can use Webster County Route K and Route 14 to get around the closing.
